The taste is just plain dreadful. Not only is it bitter, the whole “sweet” part doesn’t even taste like the usual sweet you think of. Like lemonade, yes it is perfectly sweet. Soda beverages, THAT’S sweet. But TEA, awful. And it’s like no matter how many sweetener packets you put in it, it doesn’t at all help. It’s one of those drinks where you might give it another chance if it’s available thinking it might be better but it always lets you down.
Yeah, sweetener packets is not the way. The sugar needs to be dissolved in while the tea is still warm. It can’t become the right sweetness otherwise, sugar just falls out of solution
Water + sugar + bunches of Lipton + a sealed jar in the summer sun
fuck Lipton, go with a proper loose leaf black tea please, not some brown mystery powder
Lipton is just what I see on most commercial tea spigots
